Lars Christian Ohnemus

Lars Christian Ohnemus serves as Senior Advisor and Project Leader at the Center for Corporate Governance (CCG) within the Department of Accounting and Auditing at Copenhagen Business School (CBS). Holding a PhD from CBS's Department of International Economics and Management (2010), he bridges academic research with executive experience through a robust Nordic/Central European business network. His role focuses on research facilitation, fund raising, and identifying emerging governance themes.

His educational foundation centers on his 2010 doctoral dissertation reconciling strategic branding with shareholder value. Professional development stems from extensive international board experience and nearly a decade of teaching contributions at CBS and the Baltic Management Institute.

Research spans corporate governance, banking regulation, and board dynamics, with emphasis on how ownership structures, risk management, and internationalization impact corporate performance. Recent work examines societal burdens of bank regulation, board diversity in finance, and return-on-equity targeting in banking institutions. His scholarship consistently connects Nordic business practices with global financial governance trends.

Publication analysis reveals a clear trajectory from branding's financial impact (2009-2010) toward contemporary banking governance challenges (2017-2023), demonstrating increasing focus on regulatory compliance, societal expectations, and board composition within Nordic financial institutions.

Ohnemus actively secures research funding through projects including:

• Board composition and company performance (Danish Business Authority, 2014-present)
• Nordic Finance and the Good Society initiative with sub-projects on risk management and future governance perspectives (funded by Otto Mønsted Fonden and Carnegie Endowed Professorship)

He facilitates knowledge exchange between academia and industry through CCG's research networks.

The Center for Corporate Governance functions as his primary research ecosystem, leveraging his executive network to connect academic inquiry with real-world governance challenges faced by Nordic corporations. His work emphasizes practical applicability of governance research within banking and financial sectors.
